Product Overview
Signal Labs Talent BrassRing ATS Custom Approval Workflow is a unique, innovative technology that makes it easy for you to automatically apply complex approval rules to the recruiting approval process based on your internal organizational hierarchy.
Custom Approval Workflow:
Is fully integrated with BrassRing ATS. Once BrassRing ATS Custom Approval Workflow is implemented, BrassRing ATS automatically engages BrassRing ATS Custom Approval Workflow whenever users create new requisitions or forms, routing them to the first approver based on the relevant rules. BrassRing ATS Automation Manager triggers can also be used to send notifications to approvers, such as reminder notices, but these notifications will not have Link to approve. You log into the BrassRing ATS Custom Approval Workflow administration console using your BrassRing ATS username and password.
Uses a hierarchical organization structure stored within whatever external system you use to keep organizational reporting relationships current.
Makes adjustments as people move into new positions in your organization. BrassRing ATS Custom Approval Workflow combines functional approval roles with an organizational reporting structure. Behind the scenes, rule mapping drives the approval process for each requisition or form to be routed.
Includes fully configurable business rules to govern approval paths. You can base criteria for the approval path on any field, combination of fields, or in the requisition or form itself.
Allows you to add criteria to the approval chain during the approval routing process. While creating rules-based approval routing involves setting up standard approval paths for different requisitions or forms, it also allows for recruiters or other approvers to add approvers for a particular requisition or form. Although this adds some flexibility, individuals are not allowed to break the pre-defined rules by removing or reordering the sequence of required approvers.
